Application for Employment I refer to the recent death of the Technical Manager at your company & hereby apply for the replacement of the deceased manager.

Attached to my letter is a copy of my CV & his death certificate. Crap CVs is a hilarious compilation of the worst job applications imaginable, including overly-honest cover letters, embarrassing typos, mortifying personal revelations, awkward interview questions, misplaced self-confidence, self-aggrandizing gibberish, blatant truth-twisting &, of course, outright lies. ...

The worst cookbook ever, packed with truly bizarre & utterly disgusting recipes from all over the world Ever since humankind produced its first foodie, the culinary world has dished up some staggering confections which could best be described as `acquired tastes`: dishes such as Virgin Boy Eggs (eggs soaked in the urine of prepubescent boys); live octopus, which clutches at the diner`s tongue & throat as it is swallowed; & Beard Beer, made from the yeast found in facial hair. In northern Greenl&, the Inuit are fond of cramming as many as 500 dead auks (small sea birds) into an old seal skin which they place under a large rock until the birds have fermented into what has rightly been described as a `sticky, pungent, toxic, cheesy gloop`. Kiviak, as it is called, is eaten by biting off the birds` heads & sucking out the juices. The mighty Roman Empire was built on such delicacies as larks` tongues, stuffed thrush, boiled flamingo & grilled cow`s womb, while the Tudors loved nothing more than a roast cockenthrice: the head & upper body of a pig carefully stitched onto the lower body & legs of a turkey. Today, for those with an adventurous mindset & a robust life insurance policy, there is no shortage of nauseating local delicacies to enjoy. In China, not only is tuna eyeball on the menu, but also yak penis (served whole). In Vietnam, one can enjoy the still-beating heart of a freshly-killed snake; in Icel&, raw puffin heart. In the Philippines, there is duck embryo to be had
- like a Kinder Surprise.. .only containing a dead foetus instead of a toy. In Sardinia, they like nothing more than a nice bit of maggot-infested cheese; & the favourite tipple of Korean foodies is Ttongsul, a wine made from the fermented faeces of a child. Bon appetit!

' Our national genius is knocking things down.' Jim White, Daily Telegraph From inner city poverty to self-satisfied middle Engl&, from the dull & the lifeless to the ugly & the depressing, Dan Kieran & Sam Jordison are back with a brand new list of towns
- & this time it's personal. Inspired by the success of the contentious survey, published in the Idler & in book form in Boxtree's smash hit Crap Towns, residents of the original 50 towns, along with plenty of new towns will have their say in Crap Towns II: To Hull & Back on why Britain isn't just the place of warm beer, cosy bed & breakfasts & amiable old gits that some travel books would have us believe. This brand new list of 50 towns will include new entries, non-movers & a new number one based on the public's reaction to the burnt out cars, shell suits, cheap shoe shops & housing estates patrolled by rabid dogs & feral kids that scar the face of this glorious kingdom.

The genuinely rough guide to Britain is back. Ten years after it first lifted the concrete slab in the garden of Engl&, Crap Towns returns to dish the dirt on the latest planning disasters, urban blight & posh blighters disfiguring our nation. ` My friends & I once spent an evening in Thetford. Some people threw a cucumber at us.` ` Southampton: the only place in the UK I`ve ever seen someone get on a bus & nonchalantly spark up a crack pipe.` ` Bacup long claimed to have the shortest street in Britain
- Elgin Street
- but recently lost the title to Ebeneezer Place, an even shorter street in Wick, to the fury of locals, who complained that the Scottish rival was only `a corner`.`
